Raising the drinking age to compensate for the retarded parents who have FAILED this generation(everyone is to blame), is like closing the barn door after the horse is already gone.
Too little too late, reap what you've sewn.
Bit harsh, don't you think?
You consider a parent a failure if junior gets bombed with his friends?
Who's got shivers?^^^^
I was just stating raising the legal age isn't the solution. I fell under the grand-father clause and was legal at 19. Got served in bars with my parents there before that.( rural WI/MN). Non experienced drinkers are less likely to do something stupid leaving a public bar, than a private party. It doesn't affect me either way, my kids know not to touch my beer...
And yes I believe WE have failed the next generation as parents. It's only going to get worse.
